Beethoven in Springtime

In Essen, Germany — the fourth of nine cities on the New York Philharmonic’s EUROPE / SPRING 2017 tour — the New York Philharmonic String Quartet uses the Orchestra’s downtime on March 26 to rehearse the “Scherzo” from Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 18, No. 4 for a performance the next day for Philharmonic Patrons at the Hungarian Parliament.
